Having Eco Lifestyle installed and break the fabrication machine. What happens when the bug occurs? The fabrication machine broke down and started making a noise that would not go away. I deleted the machine, deleted the room it was in, did not help. Closing the game entirely did not help. I saw the bug earlier in the youtube video of James Turner (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klIooGC-JmI). I'm guessing he already reported the bug, I couldn't find it, otherwise I would have just pressed "Me too" and make life easier. What do you expect to see? After the machine breaks and you repair it, there should be no more "broken" sound. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now.

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, besides Jungle Adventure, toddler stuff and fitness stuff pack.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place Fabricator down, use it multiple times, it should be heard in live mode coming from the fabricator. What happens when the bug occurs? Once the sim has used the fabricator a few times, the noise of the fabricator continues where the fabricator is, even once the object is removed, or placed elsewhere the machine, buzzing noise continues in the place it was and where it has been moved to. If I move the fabricator somewhere else and my sim uses it the same noise appears afterwards in the new place of the fabricator. It won't stop making the horrible noise. What do you expect to see? Once my sim has finished using the fabricator there should be no constant noise afterwards. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. New expansion pack Eco Lifestyle. It's only happened with the fabricator so far.Basically, I've installed the new expansion pack Eco Lifestyle and used the fabricator to make new objects and after using it maybe 10-20 times, a noise had appeared right where the fabricator is, the noise is a constant buzzing sound, like the fabricator is being used even when it isn't. The noise only happens when in live mode.I moved the fabricator to the other side of my sim's house and the noise is stuck where the fabricator used to be. I then used the fabricator again in the new place on my lot and it started making the noise again. Now I've got two horrid noises in my game in two different places. I've restarted the game twice and it's still there, in both places. It's not an easy noise to ignore either.

Fixed an issue in which the Fabrication sound effect continued playing even after Fabricator had completed ist task. Had the Fabricator become sentient… self aware? Fixed in Patch 1.64.84/ 1.28

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not exactly sure, It sounds like the potty buzzing noise problem and it's very annoying it increases in volume the closer you get to the noise. I'm living in the apartment on the right in the new eco lifestyle home in the neutral zone, The things that happen when it occurs is I have someone over and I use a fabricator, I don't know what causes the noise. What happens when the bug occurs? Really annoying buzzing sound that doesn't go away until I save and exit. What do you expect to see? Its a noise you cant see anything its just irritating and I think it has something to do with the Eco life expansion pack. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? YesDid this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. Removed my mods folder. I cant attach anything as its a noise and I'm not sure how to do so.

Same here. I found that if I choose "Replace" instead of "Repair", the noise stops. It's worked twice for me. It costs $900 to replace it, but at least the noise stops. ETA: This does not work every time. In fact, it seems to not work most of the time. ☹️

It‘s also constantly using up all of the produced energy which completely destroys the whole aspect of living off the grid. I‘m so frustrated right now.. I love this expansion pack and this bug is soo annoying.

@Merle1607 The constant sound does ?

Yes, the sound is constantly playing even though I repaired the machine and after that deleted it because it was so annoying. I think it is using up power while it’s doing the sound.. Sorry, I have a hard time talking in english because it’s not my native language :/

For the question about the patch or change in game the only change was that I had downloaded the sims 4 eco and that's when the problem started.

@Setdancing Me too!! Driving me insane.. my head hurts from it. I don’t have CC or Mods and I have moved lots. It happens whenever the fabricator is on the lot and used for the first time, it sounds like it’s broken but it isn’t and even when I delete it the buzzing stays 😭

It's the fabricator most likely. It's bugging out and not shutting off. Someone has made a bug report about it.
